Washington, Feb. 6. -Carranza's ef- forts to establish Vera Cruz as' the cap ital of. Mexico and compel the diplo matic corps to go. there from Mexico City is regarded by officials and4 for eign diplomats here a s xa very grave development. , It is understood the American gov ernment will inform Carranza of, its displeasure over any inconvenience he causes the diplomatic corps. ' Already a movement is in progress for with drawal from Mexico of all legations but those necessary for keeping careful watch5 on the interests of foreigners. Anxiety over the situation was re flected somewhat by visits of the Bra zilian and Spanish ambassadors to the State Department; . They sought fur ther information on the matter, it was said. . -. . . . State Department officials admitted that while Carranza had renewed his invitation for the diplomatic . corps to go to Vera Cruz, it was improbable it would bo complied with because of its possible construction as a recognition of the Carranza government. The Spanish ambassador said he had received a message from the Spanish minister in Mexico City denying that Angel De Caso, confidential agent of the Spanish government, ever had been in hiding in the Spanish legation. He discredited rumors that Carranza would deport the Spanish minister. Carrama Statement. ' Carranza said in a message tonight to Eliseo Arredondo, his 'agent here: "I desire to make clear that under no circumstances will I enter into any compromise with the enemies of the people's cause. I will only . accept their unconditional submission to the -authority of the first chieftainship. I will continue to ignore any group call ing itseii a convention or congress, or assembly that may attempt to med die with the government of this CQun try irrespective of the fact whether it is civilian or military. When peace is restored, I shall call a congress properly elected by all the citizens wich shall have the char acter of a constitutional congress to the" end that it may enact all the re forms dictated during. the struggle and give them the validity of constitutional provisions." The State Department's summary of its despatches from, Mexico said: V "The Department Is informed that oh February 3, the authorities in Mexico City issued an official notice that all Villa and Chihuahua bills were worth less. 'It is stated that Villareal, secre tary of the treasury under Carranza and . Gutierrez was . imprisoned Feb ruary 3." MEXICO FOR MEXICANS ONLY Snflferine Has Been Held to a Minimum by the Timely Warning's and . Prompt Assistance Crest ; Reached Last Wight. Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 6. The Illinois Central union railroad depot, the tracks f which are inundated by the floods, was vacated late today and its vari ous lines sought stations on higher ground. The flood reached the stage of 55.4 feet late today and continued to rise at the rate of one-tenth of a. foot an hour. According to the government weather forecaster, the crest will be reached some time tonight or early to morrow morning with a 56-foot stage wmie a large number of hmisoa in wholesale and densely nomilatArt The Keynote of All Speakers' at Peace Convention at San Antonio. San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 6. Without reference to President Wilson's Mex ican policy or to intervention by force or arms, the Mexican peace conven tion here today unanimously adopted a resolution, calling upon the leaders of the parties now engaged in war to terminate the strife and unite for the good of the country. More .than 500 delegates from almost every section 'of . .7 junhiuii t.jF par ticipated in the convention " presided over by Miguel .Bolanes Cacho, former governor of Oaxaca. The conference adjourned sine die. The resolution in the form of a mes sage is being telegraphed tonight to (General Carranza. Villa. Maytorena. Hill, Zapata, Xngeles, Cantu and other military officials. The convention decided upon a plan designed to bring about peace by the appointment or a permanent conven tion to obtain a conference of the mil itary officials in Mexico- at the earl iest possible' time. Frederico Gamboa, former minister of foreign relations in Huerta's cabinet, and. Francisco Car bajal president of Mexico between the Huerta and Carranza administrations, were elected chairman of this commit tee with power to name subcommittees in all countries where there are colo nies of Mexicans. m . . , . mis committee is to arrange for a convention in Mexico as, won as an swers are received from the military Washington, Feb. 6. The Japanese cruiser' Asama, aground in Turtle Bay, near Port Bartolomo, Lower California, "is in no immediate danger," accord ing to a report to the Navy Depart ment today from Rear Admiral How ard, commanding the Pacific fleet. Admiral Howard was due to reach the Asama today on the cruiser San i Diego. His report was based on a ra diogram from the cruiser Raleigh which already had reached the strand ed ship." The .Navy Department summarized official reports in-this" statement: "Admiral Howard haswired, from the U. S. S. San Diego that the Raleigh re ports the Japanese cruiser Asama is aground on an uncharted shoal. He says there, is no immediate danger. Admiral Howard Should arrive on the scene on board, the San Diego today." Situation Is Uniane. Officials were reticent in discussing the inteiVaflmal chases of the p.n.s arising from Ae fact that warships of the United States, a. neutral nation, are aiding the armed forces of a bel ligerent nation in waters foreign to the United States. The situation, it was said, was unique in international law. The shoal upon which the Asama is grounded is believed to be within the territorial waters of Mexico. Official opinion inclined to the view that the most the American .vessels could do was to take the officers and crew off the ship. The dictates of hu manity, it was pointed out, as inter preted by international law, permit the rescue of belligerent personnel by 'neutrals but would not allow the American craft to assist in re-floating the vessel. From Admiral Howards dispatch of ficials assume that the crew of the Asama is still abord her. Should they have lande don Mexican soil, however, as unofficial reports indicate, the situ ation would become complicated. In that event the opinion was expressed that- the sailors could scarcely be brought awy from Mexico. Should they be taken on American vessels technically American soil, it is taken for granted they will 1) brought to the Unite'd States for internment dur ing the war and that the Asama will be left to whatever fate may befall her. Washington, Feb. 6. Administration senators agreed today it would be im possible to re-commit the ship pur chase bill with instructions for its modification and determined their only course to get an amended bill before the Senate was to yield to the motion Xt .

What will be the fate of the bill af ter it has been "returned toVthe stage of general debate next week still is problematical. Several Democratic leaders declare the fight will continue until March 4th without cessation if the Republican op- I position continues. Republican leaders have given re newed assurance ihat no quarter could be expected. Whether President Wilson will call an extra session ,of Congress in case of defeat of the ship bill at this session, probably will be decided at confer ences next week between the President and Democratic leaders "in Congress. At the White' House- today it was evident that sentiment among officials was against the extra session, but that no definite conclusion had been reached.

Republican Speakers Attack It Demo crntlc Speakers . Defend It. New York, Feb. 6. Republican speakers assailed the pending ship pur chase bill and Democratic speakers de fended it during , a discusion of the Merchant Marine question today at the Republican club here. Representative Rufus Hardy, of Texas, and William Humphrey, of Washington, made the principal addresses. Edward N. Breitung, owner of the steamBhip Dacia!, also spoke. Mr. Hardy, a member of the House merchant marine committee, asserted that while the ship purchase bill would help a little; toward future greatness on the seas "the real remedy :can be obtained, only by fearless re sistance to the influence of the coast wise shipping monopoly, of the rail roads ,and of .the short sighted owners of ship yards." Production of ship1 building material, he said, is better, and cheaper in Amer ica than in : any , other country, and as soon as the. pending; seamen's bill be comes a law, he: argued, the increased cost of American operation will be come a myth-;-.- . : .

Reg'arding , the jQfLcia- oyer whose transfer from the-German to the AmeN ican flag a controversy has arisen, Mr. ! Breitung stated that his company had first triedt toi purchase ' two French j ships and an, English ships, .but that tneir owners would not sell and so the Dacia was bought. .
